I rock climb regularly and a few years ago I started feeling a stinging pain in my hand, under the skin. It didn't feel muscular, more like a pinching, or sore spot. I kept climbing despite the annoyance and once day while climbing there was intense pain from the spot and dark reddish/purple spots formed under the skin in the area.
Now, a few years later, I still feel pinching/stinging pain in the area when not being touched, and especially when there's friction on that spot of my hand.
The week after I went skiing I went to the climbing gym as normal and after an hour and a half of climbing my left arm was in pain with the source of pain coming from my elbow.
I then went climbing 2 days later and my elbow started to hurt after about 2 sets and as I continue to climb the pain got worse to the point were I cannot bend my hand backwords without a pain.
Also, the method of rock climbing/rope climbing may not be correct and causes undue strain on your elbow. Please consider these points with a sports injury specialist.
Hope this helps. Take care!

This is probably completely unrelated to the other issue with my legs I've posted about. I pulled my groin rock climbing nearly two years ago. For six months I couldn't do a butterfly stretch; physical therapists pulled on my pelvis to realign things and I gradually healed well enough to participate fully in martial arts with just the occasional twinge of pain during, say, a roundhouse kick.
My name is Elena I am seventeen years old, the other day I went rock climbing and it was my time of the month, so I used a tampax to ensure I didn't make a mess of myself but I was rather dry that day meaning not much bleeding was happening, when I changed my tampax I felt a pain and didn't think about it till a few days later and today I had a look in the mirror and near my urethral it was painful and sore, and it looked like it had a tear above the urethral as well as slightly inside t
If I'm holding something in my hand, for example my phone I can feel a tremble in my hand, its visible depending on how bad it is on the day but it always feels incredibly exhausted and weak.
I also noticed yesterday, my left leg will shake after I bend down for long periods.
Im 16, don't have any health problems and Im usually quite healthy.
I play football on a weekly basis and often go rock climbing so I have had the odd muscular pain in my time and this just isn't it. I have another appointment with a proper doctor in 3 days but the more I leave it the pain gets worse. Hoping that somebody can help because the pain is unbearable at times and the doctors always make you think the problem is in your head..
There is a point in there that if I press with my finger I feel a really bad pain. Actually, if I slide my finger pressing against the bone and below the biceps, from the medial epicondyle up to the upper arm, there is a point where I feel a sharp pain. See photo here https://imgur.com/a/uTUWF.
How did it manifest the first time? It was september / october, in that period I was climbing twice a week. I climbed for the entire summer without any kind of problem.
going through life climbing one hill just to see another and another until one day you reach the top and all you see is wide open space and its a beautiful sight ...you have reached the top of that hill....now where you go is up to you. they say wisdom comes with age... i believe wisdom comes with making mistakes and learning from them... you never know whats wrong or right until you find out for yourself...keep your head held high and with each new day breath in the air of life and love it...
After the adjustment my boyfriend felt fine for two hours and during that time he was rock climbing and hiking. By the time he got home he could barely move. The next day he had to go to the doctor and they prescribed an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers. Neither of these medications have relieved the symptoms and he back still hurts. About mid-week he started experiencing twitching in his lat, pec, tricep, bicep and elbow.
For years I experimented with different gyms, running, hiking, biking, aerobics classes, squash, raquetball, rock climbing, yoga, and it wasn't until I found an activity that was fun to me (crossfit) that I really noticed a significant change. So, my advice, is to try to find something you enjoy doing and then go from there.
Hi. Disclaimer: I will go to a doctor if pain continues, just asking to get out of internet self-diagnosis wormhole, cause I cannot find matching symptoms.
I tore or sprained something in my back rock climbing; it's on the left side, upper/mid back, kind of between spine and scapula. Now there are only a few muscles there, unfortunately going by the online symptom lists, none seem to match.
Take special care not to engage in sports or activities that may involve head trauma such as bicyclinhg or rock climbing. The lack of an ability to repair and tear is ocasionally due to insulin utilization problems. High blood sugar levels in particuliar. I am not sure what the mechanism of action is, but it is present in some diabetics. I would get an insulin clamp test. A small amount of DHEA (a repair hormone) may help, but be very cautious. This is a powerful male hormone.
Hi - I use a product called Rock-Tips to deal with pain and dryness in my fingertips. It's sold to musicians for building their calluses, but it also works great in sealing up cracked and dried out skin and protecting the skin from the elements. It's totally transparent and lasts for several days per application. Non-toxic too.
